Post by Empath »

Okay, for some reason I can't apply the v1.4 patch onto my giants game, it keeps saying that I haven't installed Giants.. does anyone know how to fix this? :lol:

:?
I forgot to mention that I installed a ripped version of Giants. I went on GSA and this guy said that u can't apply the patch to a ripped version but u can ask around and someone might know a way around this...


So you can't patch the game if u have a ripped version?

Well now you tell us! Try reinstalling it anyway, you have nothing to lose.

^^: sorry, i think the problem was that I didn't (the first time) install Giants into C:, the patch doesn't seem to detect your game if it is installed outside of C: (I installed in D: )

Possibly, though it should search your drives.

It takes the giants directory from the windows registry, and given the "quality" of rips, the registry key was probably set to the C drive, when it was actually installed on another drive
